  • Box Office Bomb: The film was a commercial failure at the British box office, making only $10.1 million in its first three months, just a fifth of its $50 million budget. It was also unsuccessful in the USA, earning only $8 million. When its worldwide theatrical run ended in January 2010, the film had grossed $36.56 million.
  • Completely Different Title:
    • It's called Pirate Radio in the USA. You could have a gander at guessing what was so wrong with the original title, but you probably won't find anything logical. note 
      • The changed title was most likely to differentiate between the original release and the North American version, which was about 20 minutes shorter.
    • The film's title on the French market is Good Morning England (in untranslated English). Some marketing executive had Good Morning, Vietnam in mind, somehow.
  • Deleted Scenes: The film was released 20 minutes shorter in North America.
